Spam: [wplug] Strange localhost http request

[Kimberly McKinnis]

I was bored, so I googled it. That string (G.6-Pd-R) shows up in lots of
apache stats pages, mostly from 2o7.net, which says "this domain is used
by Omniture to place cookies, on behalf of its customers, on the
computers of visitors to customers' selected websites." It looks like
maybe someone fouled up the script so it was pointing to localhost by
accident?

Subject: Spam: [wplug] Strange localhost http request

Hello everyone,

I have Apache running on my work PC for testing.  Today, I was looking
on ebay for some software.  Later, I reviewed the Apache error log
because PHP was not working properly.

I then noticed several strange 404 entries, apparently some ebay.com
pages make a request from localhost to:

http://localhost/b/ss/ebay0/1/G.6-Pd-R/s+(random numeric string)

Anyone recognize this, know why?

Dave
